More than halfway through, there is still a small jade lamp lit in the study of Yongleju, the jade lamp is made of old white jade, the color is very pleasing to the eye, the jade quality and moistness are excellent, and the carving is also without defects.

Yi Xiangxiang is not a master who will bend, and she will not be low-key in her own home. The precious items in Yongle Ju are far more simple than the white fox skin cushions that Yi Luochuan saw, and the vase ornaments in the room are as small as a comb, all of which are extremely exquisite.

If it is said that Yi Xiangxiang is extravagant, it is indeed the case, but if it is high-profile, it is impossible to say. The outsiders who come and go to Yongle Ju are all invited to the main hall with general decoration, and the rest are their own people around Yi Xiangxiang, like this study, there is a special person to take care of it, so no outsiders know her delicacy, or criticize her luxury. Oh, no, my brother Yi Luochuan has a lot of complaints about this.

However, Yi Xiangxiang didn't care about Yi Luochuan's whispers, she knew that her brother was in the spirit of having more than one thing and less thing, he was just afraid that she would make people blush. Yi Xiangxiang doesn't like to show off, but how can she really be comfortable, and she can use a good thing, why not? Not only herself, but also the ones she sent to Ci'an Hall and the Lin family, they were all exquisite objects. However, the two elders are low-key masters, and most of the ornaments are kept in the inner room, and some are even locked in the warehouse.

Mo and Lin are very pleased with Yi Xiangxiang's filial piety, but there is no way, some things are really too arrogant and do not conform to their family's external positioning; Just like the pure gold Guanyin Buddha statue given to Mo's by Yi Xiangxiang, that head is as big as joy, and it is solid! This bodhisattva ...... How dare Mo put it in the Buddha hall? She felt a psychological barrier when she knelt! It was so that it could only be sealed and locked in the warehouse. And even if Mo knew that the Guanyin statue had not yet been opened, he was afraid of being reproached by the Bodhisattva, so he kept thinking about whether to donate it, but he felt that it was so precious that it hurt to the flesh, so that he could keep it sealed.

Where did Yi Xiangxiang know Mo's scruples, she really felt so arrogant! There is no way, the nouveau riche are all so simple and crisp!

At this time, Yi Xiangxiang was sitting in front of the carved red sandalwood bookcase, standing beside Qing Xuan, and the candle on the jade lamp was clearly extinguished. After a while, the window seemed to be blown by the wind and sounded softly, and when Yi Xiangxiang looked up again, he saw Mo Wen kneeling on one knee.

"My subordinates meet my master!" Mo Wen, who was dressed in black and robed in black, saluted Yi Xiangxiang.

Yi Xiangxiang smiled and said, "Get up!" In the future, you don't need to call me master, just call me girl. ”

Watching TV series before, Yi Xiangxiang found that those villains who were busy recovering the country or wanting to create great turmoil were called masters by their subordinates, and then all of them ended badly, so don't call them masters, which makes people panic. Of course, she didn't care about the fact that the masters in the palace were all called "masters" by their subordinates.

"You've worked so hard all these years! Sit it all! Yi Xiangxiang said something and asked Mo Wen and Qingxuan to sit down.

In fact, Yi Xiangxiang didn't really regard Mo Wen and Qingxuan as subordinates, but felt that they were her amazing partners, and she should respect them. She knew what price Mo Wen and Qing Xuan had paid for their hard work now, especially Qing Xuan, the delicate girl forced herself to become a famous "string lady", and she paid a hundred times more effort than others.

"String Lady" is the name of Qingxuan who has walked the rivers and lakes over the years, because her weapon is a piano wire; The people in the rivers and lakes don't know what her sect is, and they don't know who her surname is, so they call her with her weapons.

Over the years, Qing Xuan has followed Mo Wen to learn martial arts, and at the same time, she has also helped Yi Xiangxiang establish her own power, and in order to improve her actual combat skills and increase her experience, she has also walked the rivers and lakes alone. Today's Qing Xuan is no longer the trembling girl holding a dagger, she has her own weapons and the strength to defeat the enemy.

Yi Xiangxiang looked at her beautiful face, which had the tenacity that the official women of this era did not have, just like a modern strong woman, her charm was not just as simple as her outstanding appearance.

Although she has paid a lot, Yi Xiangxiang is very pleased that she has successfully completed her own challenge.

Yi Xiangxiang thought about it and looked at Mo again, now he is also reborn! The Mo Wen in front of him is no longer the young man he was five years ago, and there will be a recklessness on his face that does not admit defeat. Over the years, Mo Wen has taken advantage of Yi Xiangxiang's support, secretly visited famous teachers, studied martial arts hard, and also received Yi Xiangxiang's training, and has already become an iron-blooded tough guy! Even with his restrained momentum at this time, Yi Xiangxiang could feel a tenacity in his resolute face revealed.

Just talked about the name, in fact, Mo Wen's reputation in the rivers and lakes is even better; Two years ago, he was a sword picker, and when others asked him his name, he replied that he didn't ask! It was because many people thought that he didn't want to say his name before he replied to Mo Qian, and the sword he made was an ordinary sword, which made it impossible to name it after a weapon, and the people of the rivers and lakes could only call him "nameless son"!

At that time, when Qing Xuan told Yi Xiangxiang about this matter, the latter was about to laugh out of his abdominal muscles! And speaking of Mo Wen's sword, it is also Yi Xiangxiang's "masterpiece"! Yi Xiangxiang remembered that at that time, Mo Wen happened to find a good sword and showed it to Qing Xuan, and Qing Xuan, a little eared god, would naturally report it to Yi Xiangxiang! So Yi Xiangxiang remembered that when she used to read martial arts novels, it said that real swordsmanship masters don't rely on good swords, and even willow branches can be used as swords after practicing to the unity of heaven and man. At that time, when Qing Xuan read this passage from Yi Xiangxiang's letter to Mo Wen, the master who taught Mo Wen's swordsmanship felt very reasonable after hearing it, so he took away Mo Wen's sword and asked him to practice his moves with an ordinary sword, and not rely on the merits of the sword. So to this day, Mo Wen uses an ordinary sword.

Mo Wen and Qing Xuan's swordsmanship master was a hermit master, Yi Xiangxiang wasted all his strength to find this master, at that time, this hermit master didn't want to teach Mo Wen and Qing Xuan, but then something else happened, and the master was moved by Mo Wen's sincerity and agreed.

The entanglement of each of these is not shown for the time being; It is said that the hermit master later comprehended the essence of different swordsmanship because of Yi Xiangxiang's theory of "the unity of man and sword", and created a world-famous swordsmanship, and the sword spectrum is called "Tianyi Sword Spectrum". However, at that time, Mo Wen and Qing Xuan were far away from the rivers and lakes and were loyal to Yi Xiangxiang. In order to pass on his new sword pedigree, it was not to go into hiding, but to set up a faction. These are all later words.

Mo Wen and Qing Xuan respected Yi Xiangxiang's instructions and sat down in the red sandalwood carved wreath chair.

"Why did you come back all of a sudden?" Yi Xiangxiang asked. She knew that if it weren't for the important thing, Mo Wen and Qing Xuan would definitely not run this trip in person.

"Kyoto Line News, half a month ago, the fourth prince was appointed by Concubine De to come to Tongzhou to celebrate the birthday of Concubine De's previous teacher in Lusheng Academy, and his subordinates feel that something is wrong, and I am afraid that it will affect our plans." Mo Wen reported to Yi Xiangxiang.

Yi Xiangxiang frowned: "The fourth prince? What kind of teacher can still let Concubine De send her son over? Have you found out the purpose of this trip to the four princes? "Because of the teacher's birthday banquet, the royal son traveled thousands of miles to kill Yi Xiangxiang, and she didn't believe it was so simple.

"No! These four princes, Zhao Zixiu, are the sons of Concubine De, who have a gentle and elegant reputation and are highly respected by students. A few days ago, he visited Mei Huanyuan and Linghua to discuss chess, and I was afraid that he would deliberately test it, because he did not let the spies send the news to Tongzhou at that time. After receiving the news, Qingxuan and I discussed it, but I still felt that I had to report to the girl in person. Mo Wen explained why he and Qingxuan decided to come over with the news themselves.

Yi Xiangxiang knew that Mo Wen was afraid that the spies who passed on the news were not careful enough, so she was touched by Zhao Zixiu, she nodded and said, "Well, you guys are very thoughtful. However, Linghua Lingwu was sent to Kyoto by me, and Linghua's ability should not be exposed even in the face of Zhao Zixiu. After that, you and Moxi are two individuals, so be careful not to cover too obviously, so as not to hinder each other and become a greater target. Speaking of which, there is a turbulent dark tide in Kyoto today, so we still have to be careful! Let's avoid Zhao Zixiu and advance the plan, no matter where his behavior comes from, let's just do our own thing. ”

Mo Wen and Qing Xuan stood up and said, after the two sat down again, Qing Xuan said: "Although the terrain has sent people to find out the accurate division of sixty percent, it is still a little dangerous, miss, or you should wait for our news!" ”

Qing Xuan had been following Yi Xiangxiang before, and she was still used to calling her Miss.

"People still haven't recruited?" Yi Xiangxiang asked, it stands to reason that it is rare for someone to insist like this.

"We put people in sealed boxes according to the method given by the young lady, and only opened the mouth to deliver food. He did recruit some of them, but he was probably afraid that he would be killed if he said it all, so he would not speak again. Qing Xuan slapped the table indignantly, she had never hidden her emotions in front of Yi Xiangxiang and Mo Wen.

But Mo Wen didn't see joy in front of anyone, he was young and ups and downs, and he had already practiced so much over the years that he didn't express joy, anger and sorrow.

"It's okay, don't ask to send people into Meihuanyuan tomorrow and hand them over to Moxi to collect, and I will meet him in person when the time comes!" Yi Xiangxiang touched her nose as she spoke, thinking about countermeasures.

"Yes, Miss!" Mo asked and replied succinctly, he also followed Qing Xuan's name and called Yi Xiangxiang Miss.

Yi Xiangxiang took a sip of tea and continued: "I asked you to observe Yi Hanxi, what was the result?" ”

"The fourth young master is a straightforward person, and he has no greedy heart, and he manages the Kyoto Joy House in an orderly manner. And he is not as obsessed with Flower Street and Willow Lane as his father, and he has never even stepped into a place as famous as Mei Huan Yuan. Qing Xuan said matter-of-factly.

Qing Xuan had also dealt with the people in the second room in the Yi family before, and today I saw the process of getting along with Miss Yi Ruofu again, and thought to myself that this Yi Ruofu is also a good one. The second room is also rare, and there are two good bamboo shoots.

When Yi Xiangxiang was about to open a joy building in Kyoto, he sent Yi Hanxi over and asked Qingxuan to arrange someone to spy on him.

"In this case, you arrange for someone to contact you and let Yi Hanxi take charge of the business of Wuda Firm in Kyoto. However, I can't find out the relationship between Wuda Firm and Xile Building, and I will let Linghua and Lingwu cooperate with him. "Since Yi Xiangxiang has fully confirmed that Yi Hanxi can use it, she naturally won't be too suspicious; Now that the Wuda business is becoming more and more powerful, she also needs someone she trusts and needs to be in charge of Kyoto affairs, so that she can't sometimes get orders to the fastest.

"Yes, the subordinates will send a message to Kyoto, so that Linghua can secretly contact Yi Hanxi." Mo asked.

Yi Xiangxiang shook her head and said, "This thing is naturally to be said secretly, but it is not noticeable for a man to go to Meihuanyuan to have fun; You told Yi Hanxi that as the bloodline of the second uncle, it is not surprising that he has a little bit of the second uncle's affairs. ”

"Miss is so smart, it's normal for Brother Gongzi to visit Hualou! In this way, the fourth young master's entry and exit from Mei Huan Yuan will not make people suspicious! Qing Xuan smiled and patted his ass, which made Yi Xiangxiang very useful.

That's right, Wuda, which was born two years ago, is Yi Xiangxiang's pseudonym. She took the original Oiran Building and renamed it Meihuan Yuan, and used it as a base with Moxi to radiate the Wuda business name to all parts of the Li Dynasty. The reason why Yi Xiangxiang can use good silk and satin utensils and items now is that Wuda firm earned them for her. Although the profit of Xile Building is also very considerable, Yi Xiangxiang is afraid that what is placed on the bright side is too easy to be coveted, so she only opened four Xile Lou and gave up.

The road to the business empire still has to be sneaked in this era of imperial power! Yi Xiangxiang secretly regrets that she can't leave her name in history!

Mo Wen saw Yi Xiangxiang's pride, he coughed lightly and said, "Yes, my subordinates will arrange it immediately!" ”

I saw Mo Wen wave his hand gently, and a wind shook in the void, and the people who were hidden in the dark went away with the wind.

"Miss, what happened in the second room today...... Qing Xuan asked Yi Ruonan.

Yi Xiangxiang said disappreciatively: "You want to ask Yi Ruonan?" It's okay, that's not in a hurry. When Yi Hanxi takes over all the matters of the Wuda firm steadily, I will let people create another opportunity for him to intersect with Meng Qihan first; When the time comes, Yi Ruonan will make her reputation beautiful, and I will let Yi Ruonan be sent to Yi Hanxi in Xile Building, and it will be foolproof to act according to the plan! As for Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Shizi, I have my own way to get them to accept it. ”

Qing Xuan knew that the young lady had already made arrangements, so he nodded and said something else: "At today's banquet, the secret guard reported that Lord Jiang Chuanhong has a lot of praise for the third young master!" ”

"Huh? Could it be that Lord Jiang wants to match Jiang Jingshan to my brother? Yi Xiangxiang figured out the key in a second.

"It's possible!" Qing Xuan replied with a frown, she knew that Jiang Jingshan's cousin Xiao Ling'er had offended her own young lady, so she didn't have a good impression of Jiang Jingshan, so she naturally didn't want her to become the young lady's sister-in-law.

"It's okay, it should be that Lord Jiang doesn't want to push his granddaughter into the fire pit in the palace, he is a good grandfather. It's a pity that in the Li Dynasty, power is greater than everything! At that time, if Meng Zhaoyi had to do this, Master Jiang would not be able to; Although he is now Meng Zhaoyi's grandfather in name, in terms of real power, Meng Zhaoyi's current backers are the Hou Mansion and her uncle; Needless to say, Hou Mansion and her uncle also don't like the concubines of the Zhu family, so if Jiang Jingshan's happiness is sacrificed, Hou Mansion and Jiang Chengshen will not hesitate! Yi Xiangxiang said.

Yi Xiangxiang looked at the candlelight and thought to herself, Jiang Jingshan is also a poor girl, no matter what her mother did at the beginning, Jiang Chengshen should not be angry with her children. Over the years, he has left a pair of children, and he has really failed to fulfill his father's responsibilities. Jiang Xuanrui and Jiang Jingshan are, in a sense, no different from single-parent families!

"In this way, Master Jiang will not get his wish." Qing Xuan said.

Yi Xiangxiang thought about it again and said: "I'll explore the tone of the two parties first, if they are interested in each other, I don't mind helping Old Man Jiang." Yi Xiangxiang smiled secretly after speaking, as if she had suddenly found the fun of connecting her classmates at the front and back tables when she was in school; If her brother likes Jiang Jingshan, she has to help hold the beauty.

Qing Xuan heard Yi Xiangxiang's meaning, and secretly laughed, and after laughing, she said, "Qing Xuan still wants to stay by Miss's side in the future!" ”

"This is done, I also want to say that I want to remove the secret guards, and arrange some small maids with good skills to serve in the house. These four princes will come to Tongzhou, and there should be many people around them who are secretly protecting, if he finds out that there are secret guards behind the Yi family, it may cause trouble. It's good if you come back, and it won't save me from readjusting. On the other side, you can just get some people to make up for it for the reason of buying! Yi Xiangxiang leaned back in the circle chair, stroked her slender fingers and said slowly.

Qing Xuan didn't expect the young lady to agree to let her come back to serve so easily, and said very happily: "The slave obeys!" Be sure to send people well! ”

Yi Xiangxiang didn't expect Qing Xuan to be so happy, how did she know that Qing Xuan was afraid that her young lady would see that her hands were stained with blood and taboo, and now Qing Xuan found that Miss still left her as informal, so she was naturally happy.

Yi Xiangxiang would definitely cry and laugh if she knew Qing Xuan's thoughts, almost all of the ladies in the backyard had human lives on their hands, so could they all be taboo?

"This fourth prince Zhao Zixiu must have other purposes in coming to Tongzhou, there is no doubt about it! We can get the news in advance, and other people should have got the news secretly! Therefore, there should be other forces that follow, and you must be careful in the future! Yi Xiangxiang solemnly explained.

After all, the civil forces are not as royal as the royal ones, Yi Xiangxiang feels that it is better to be cautious! After all, it must not be a trivial matter to let Zhao Zixiu, who is the prince, make a trip in person! If Zhao Zixiu's news can be obtained by them, it will inevitably be obtained by other princes, and there may be other princes who will follow at that time! These people are hiding in the shadows like them, although they haven't found out that each other's interests are intertwined for a while, but they have to be guarded against!

Yi Xiangxiang knew that although the saint was in good health today, he was starting to get old after all! Among the eleven children under his knees, there are nine princes and two princesses! This made Yi Xiangxiang have to think of the very famous Kowloon seizure incident! Now that the saint has set up a crown prince, except for the prince who is weak in the mother family, the remaining second prince, fourth prince, and seventh prince are all popular candidates.

Now looking at the actions of all parties in Kyoto, even Meng Zhaoyi, who is only four years old now, is planning, and I think those people are also preparing for their own future. Yi Xiangxiang felt that if it was unnecessary, it was better not to get entangled with those people with imperial power!

Mo Wen listened to Yi Xiangxiang's analysis, frowned and said, "Miss, my subordinates have sent the twenty-four ghosts over!" They are very good at hiding their identities and can keep you safe! ”

Yi Xiangxiang shook her head and said, "No! Their light work should be used in the plan! I'm going to make them famous in this matter! It's okay on my side, no one will notice me, I just have Qingxuan! ”

"But ........" Mo asked what else to say, but was interrupted by Qing Xuan.

"No, don't ask you what you mean? Do you think my martial arts are low? Qing Xuan stood up and shouted angrily! Thinking that she is a famous person, how can she be so despised!

Mo Wen didn't make a sound, but glanced at Qing Xuan, which obviously meant that he acquiesced! Qing Xuan was still about to get mad when he saw this, so he heard Yi Xiangxiang say happily on the side: "Go, there will be a fight in the courtyard, let me see who has high martial arts!" ”

"Eh, Miss! You're helping him! Qing Xuanjiao said in a coquettish voice, pretending to be angry and looking at Yi Xiangxiang!

"Okay, good, I don't help him, I don't help him, who makes you not as good as him, Miss, I always have to take care of the weak!"

"Miss!"

There was a burst of laughter from the study of Yongle Ju, and even Mo Wen rarely laughed out loud!
